4. File: Z2305

Affected Lands: City-wide
Applicant: City of Peterborough

The City of Peterborough is required to amend its Zoning By-law to facilitate ‘Additional Residential Units’ within certain residential dwelling types throughout the City. Additional Residential Units are ancillary to a permitted primary residential unit (detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse) in a residential zoning district and are defined as follows:

Additional Residential Units are self-contained residential units with a private kitchen, bathroom facilities and sleeping areas within dwellings or within structures ancillary to a dwelling.” 

Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 amended the Planning Act to require municipalities to permit up to two additional residential units via Zoning by-laws within certain residential dwelling types. The City’s Zoning By-law was updated in 2018 to permit a maximum of one (1) Secondary Suite within specific types of Principal Dwelling Units or within a residential
Accessory Building associated therewith. The City is now required to permit up to two (2) additional residential units within certain types of principal dwelling units or up to one additional residential unit in the permitted principal dwelling and up to one additional residential unit in an ancillary building or structure, subject to specific regulations. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment will implement this direction.

Pursuant to the Planning Act, there is no right to appeal in respect of the official plan policies and/or zoning by-laws that establish provisions permitting Additional Residential Units as per Section 35.1 of the Planning Act, R.S.O, 1990, c.

Additional information and materials relating to the proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment, including information about preserving your appeal rights may be obtained from the Planning Division, City Hall, (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday) at 705-742-7777.
